Installation without an Internet Connection

If you don't have access to the internet or you're behind a firewall and cannot access PyPI.org or Anaconda Cloud directly you can download and copy the following files to the target machine:

• the Anaconda Python distribution
• the FMPy Conda package or Python Wheel
• the PyQtGraph Conda package or Python Wheel (only required for the GUI)

After you've installed Anaconda, change to the directory where you've copied the files and enter

conda install --no-deps fmpy-{version}.tar.bz2 pyqtgraph-{version}.tar.bz2

to install the Conda packages or the Python Wheels with

python -m pip install --no-deps FMPy-{version}.whl pyqtgraph-{version}.tar.gz

where {version} is the version you've downloaded.
